Agreed no one would campaign on that platform as a winning strategy. My real point is that education and other planned spending was abruptly cut when resource revenues didn't materialize as forecast. Whether we agree on the budgets or not the fact is that they routinely get trumped by volatile energy revenues. A lot of people voted for Redford because she promised stable education funding lol. If government spending was tied to tax revenue we'd have more stability and less upheaval seemingly every other year.
